What is panorama photography?

Some landscapes are so beautiful, you want to capture every centimetre of them. And yet, it is not always possible to capture all of this in one image, even when you use a wide-angle lens. Panorama photography is a good way of capturing the grand views of landscapes. In panoramic photography, multiple photos are seamlessly placed side by side, so that a long picture is created. This is also known as stitching.

Stitching photos

You can use photo editing software to stitch photos together. But nowadays, many cameras and phones already have a panorama function themselves. This function automatically places the images next to each other. However, this does not always work properly.

Prevent parallax errors with panoramic accessories

Of course, it is possible to make hand-held panoramic photos, but there is a big chance of having a crooked horizon. For that reason, it is advisable to make use of a tripod. In our web shop, you will also find special panorama accessories that make panorama photography even easier, such as systems that let your camera turn 360 degrees. With these panoramic accessories, you can set the camera to rotate around the desired entry pupil axes. This helps to prevent parallax errors.
